THE DAILY GRIND: De La Soul – Pain (feat. Snoop Dog)

It’s been about twelve years since De La Soul released The Grind Date, their last proper album. So of course we’re all gonna be excited to hear some new De La. It’s just super surprising how damn good it is. Funky, a bit understated, and catchy as hell (that chorus will definitely get lodged in your cranium), the boys are definitely back in fine form on this track that feels both retro and forward thinking, never diving into complete nostalgia. Hell, even Snoop drops a halfway decent verse on this.

How will it stack up compared to their legendary back catalog? We’ll have to wait and see when the group’s latest album …and The Anonymous Nobody comes out in August. Who all is excited for this?
